Next in thread: tpcanavan: "Re: Leep as OPD procedure." best idea here is to first check with your ISP re: 56K. at present there are competing standards so assuming that line conditions are optimal, if the ISP does not support the modem standard then it's a waste of money. personally, i am using an x2 modem which even as i type is zipping along at 50.6KBPS. happy holidays to all. art At Tue, 23 Dec 1997, Malcolm Griffiths wrote: > >In message <199712230314.VAA17938@talk.obgyn.net>, "Garry E.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
